08 August 2016 Clarion 160725.Pages CLArion No 1608 – 01 August 2016 Email newsletter of Civil Liberties Australia (A04043) Email: Secretary(at)cla.asn.au Web: http://www.cla.asn.au/ Stand by for justice over stolen wages Civil Liberties Australia is aware of a major legal case, to be launched this month, seeking to claw back possibly more than $1 billion in wage payments NOT made to Indigenous people in Australia. For years, Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders in Queensland and other jurisdictions have been denied the wages due them for work they did for government and other bosses dating back beyond 100 years. They were subjected to a racist “protection” regime, where money they earned was paid to a “Protector of Aborigines” who, in most cases, protected the revenue flow to government coffers rather than provided relative benefit to the Indigenous people, individually or as a group. The Queensland and other jurisdictions – particularly WA and the NT – have proposed various compensation schemes over the years, but usually offering a pittance of what is due to those who literally slaved away without pay. Soon there will be a chance real dollars, in today’s value terms, might flow to rightful recipients. For the situation in WA, see: http://tinyurl.com/j5qwkuf PHOTO: Children branding cattle on a government station in the Kimberley, WA, in the 1910s. – State Library of WA Little sense in ABS approach to the census The national census will be held this month. You are free to decide whether you will be civilly disobedient by not giving your correct name on the census papers, or online – the government may take action against you if you do that, and you may be liable for a sizeable fine. A former head of the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Bill McLellan, who helped draft the relevant legislation, has said that the ABS has no legal right to demand that you give your name. But the issue has not been tested in court. Surely, the ABS has the responsibility to ensure what it claims to be the law is in fact legal. It has been derelict in not clarifying the situation formally, Civil Liberties Australia says. See Electronic Frontiers Australia for more details: https://www.efa.org.au/privacy/census-2016/ Daft legislation would put the rule of law at risk in Australia An urgent demand for action, any form of action, is up against the famous Australia ‘fair go’ in the daft and dangerous proposal by PM Malcolm Turnbull to keep people convicted of terrorist offences in jail after they have completed their sentences. What sounds on first hearing like a solution to a psychological problem in reality drives a knife into the heart of the justice system in Australia, affecting all Australians negatively. It is not for politicians to decide who stays in jail, and for how long, Civil Liberties Australia says. That is for judges, under the Australian Constitution. Any federal legislation designed to subvert the Australian Constitution by keeping people in jail beyond their sentences is likely be interpreted by the High Court for what it is – political interference in the judicial process – and declared illegal. If the Australian government wants to attach strings to people convicted of terrorism offences who have served their time in jail, they have available a vast array of anti-terror measures passed since 2001: • control orders • detention orders (soon possibly even applying to 14-year-old children); • ‘plotting’ and ‘conspiring’ laws; and Civil Liberties Australia A04043 CLArion – 1 August 2016 www.cla.asn.au 1 • surveillance warrants and devices, including leg ‘bracelets’, hardware and software attached to phones and computers and planted in homes and cars, and drones. As well, and probably even more effectively, there are thousands (about 4000) of extra ASIO agents and Australian Federal Police, appointed since the 9/11 aircraft attacks on America, who should be able to keep tabs on a handful of people who may continue to harbour ideas of doing the nation harm after serving 15 or 20 years away from their families. If the danger of released prisoners is so great, ASIO and AFP officers should be – must be – switched from mundane tasks to full-time surveillance to ferret out presumably deeply-entrenched accomplices and contacts. Keeping people convicted of terrorism locked up beyond their sentences is against the rule of law in Australia, is contrary to local and international human rights…and just plain stupid. In 2001, before he entered parliament, Malcolm Turnbull was too smart a lawyer and businessmen to fall for such a three-card proposition as he is presenting to the Australian people 15 years later. When will Turnbull and the government learn that you cannot defeat terrorism by passing legislation: terrorists are not dissuaded by laws – they simply ignore them. Such a law as proposed will only alienate more terrorist supporters into violent action, rather than curtail attacks. If someone is to remain locked up because the government – or even a judge – believes that person is harbouring evil thoughts, Australia will have turned ‘1984’ from a novel about totalitarianism into reality. ACT, Victoria acts should safeguard citizens from bad law The ACT’s outgoing* Attorney-General Simon Corbell has raised concerns about PM Turnbull's indefinite detention scheme for high-risk terrorists. The federal government's proposal would see those convicted of terror offences locked up even after their sentence has expired, should they still pose a high risk to the community. The Commonwealth has to rely heavily on state governments to pass the required law, and has asked the ACT government to legislate post-sentence detention in support. But the ACT and Victoria have human rights laws, precisely to protect citizens from laws such as the one proposed. Under threat, nations can quickly turn undemocratic. For an example of how a “democratic” country can abuse its laws, in a change of policy virtually overnight to lock up tens of thousands of people we all need look no further than Turkey in July 2016. Some 30,000 workers — teachers, bankers, police officers, soldiers, bureaucrats and others — are arrested. Dozens of journalists have had their media credentials revoked, and a reported 30 have been arrested as more than 20 websites and 100 media outlets have been closed. The media closures include 45 newspapers, 16 TV channels, 15 magazines and 29 publishers. In the defence forces, 127 generals and 32 admirals have been sacked under the three-month state of emergency. http://tinyurl.com/hdt5zs5 and http://tinyurl.com/hljrfgx * Corbell is retiring at the October 2016 ACT election. http://tinyurl.com/zjxddum Giles Arabesque…my, what an imminent election can facilitate Within just hours of a Four Corners program airing, the NT Chief Minister Adam Giles had: • taken over the portfolio of Correctional Services and sacked the incumbent minister John Elferink; • been briefed by the NT Commissioner for Corrections, the NT Police Commissioner and the Chief Executive of the Department of Children and Families; • insisted that NT Police form a special task force, and declare a major investigation into the Four Corners allegations, with a senior officer in charge; • agreed to a Royal Commission after speaking with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Attorney General George Brandis and Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion; • insisted that the the RC investigates all the youth justice system in the NT, not just youth detention; • decided – without convening the NT Cabinet – that the NT would build a new youth detention facility, and a new prison farm at Mataranka Station as an alternative to custodial detention; • decided to appoint an independent inspector general for corrections to monitor the corrections facilities and ensure policies and procedures are being complied with; Civil Liberties Australia A04043 CLArion – 1 August 2016 www.cla.asn.au 2 • agreed to make public a root and branch review of juvenile corrections conducted by Keith Hamburger AM, the former Director General of Corrections in Queensland; and • commissioned another Inspector General from interstate to undertake an immediate health check of the NT juvenile justice system within next two weeks. So, the next time a minister in any government in Australia says quick action to fix a problem is impossible, quote them the Giles Arabesque, a remarkable set of manoeuvres performed with an election due in four weeks, on 27 August 2016. – compiled from a CM Adam Giles media release, 26 July 2016 Martin’s latest judicial gig is NT juvenile justice Royal Commission The role of racism and the adequacy of the NT government's response to reports into its juvenile justice system, will be examined by the royal commission formally established late in July. Former NT Supreme Court chief justice Brian Ross Martin* (photo) will preside, examining the failings of the NT’s child protection and youth detention systems since 2006. According to Fairfax Media, the inquiry will examine: The treatment of children detained at all youth detention facilities run by the NT government, including but not limited to the Don Dale facility. Whether any such treatment might have breached federal or NT law, human rights obligations, duty of care or any other rules. What mechanisms and safeguards were in place and why they failed. Whether there were "any deficiencies of the organisational culture" in NT youth detention facilities". Whether more should have been done by the NT government. What new NT laws could prevent mistreatment of children and young people in detention. What improvements could be made to the child protection system, including early intervention options and pathways for children at risk, access to mental health and medical care. Whether compensation could be paid to mistreated youths. In particular, the royal commission will probe why two reports to the NT government in 2015 "were not given effect to sufficiently or at all", federal Attorney-General Senator Brandis said.

Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.
